I broke the bolts off on mine upon taking apart. Fished the broken bolts out and went with a cheap aftermarket motor. So far it is working great. I did have to remove the entire trim assembly which requires you remove the starboard side bracket. PITA actually. It was a solid 6 on a ten scale in my book. Your supposed to have a special tool that holds the motor because it does get a little shaky once the bracket is free. I was working a 250 EFI with the 3 ram type trim and tilt. They are nearly all the same. It looks like you could get to both bolts without removing the bracket but I was not so lucky. LOL!
